WHERE THE RAINBOW ENDS
Where the rainbow ends
Theres going to be a place, brother,
Where the world can sing all sorts of songs,
And were going to sing together, brother,
You and I, though youre white and Im not.
Its going to be a sad song, brother,
Because we dont know the tune,
And its a difficult tune to learn.
But we can learn, brother, you and I.
Theres no such tune as a black tune.
Theres no such tune as a white tune.
Theres only music, brother,
And its music were going to sing
Where the rainbow ends.

THE COMISSARS NOT IN TOWN

When Guangzhou resident Ma Yiyong, 57, went to renew
his unemployment certificate last month, something extraordinary
happened: he did so efficiently and discreetly, with a few
keystrokes. It used to be really troublesome in the past, says Ma.
I would have to stand in line several times, and sometimes the
government officials werent at their desks. Now its fast.
Chinas romance with e-government is now reaching the
grass-roots level, bringing efficiency and convenience to citizens.
But its biggest benefit may be in circumventing one of the last
bastions of communism: the infamous neighborhood committees.
These groups of local party members have for decades served as the
authorities eyes and ears. They were also notorious busybodies,

making it their business to know who was having marital problems,

grumbling about the government or out of work.
